High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Operation Chastise was the official name for attacks carried out by Royal Air Force No. 617 Squadron - subsequently known as the Dambusters - on German dams on May 16/17, 1943, using a specially developed "bouncing bomb" invented and developed by Barnes Wallis. The Möhne and Eder dams were breached, causing catastrophic flooding of the Ruhr valley, but the Sorpe dam sustained only minor damage. Prior to World War II, the British Air Ministry had identified Germany's heavily industrialized Ruhr Valley, and especially its dams, as important strategic targets: in addition to providing hydro-electric power they also supplied drinking water and water for the canal transport system. The methods used to attack the dams had been carefully worked out.
